Personal profile
Research interests
As an experienced researcher, I am driven to understand how changed systems of care can deliver better outcomes. My research interests have always centred on answering important questions that directly influence the practice of medicine in the community.
My work focuses on strengthening primary care through real‑time decision support using GP electronic medical records. MRFF, national, and state funding supports a portfolio of projects aimed at improving the management of frailty, deprescribing, antimicrobial stewardship, cardiovascular care, and discharge medication safety.
In my role as Chair of the RACGP Expert Committee for Quality Care, I provide clinical and advocacy advice to the College and represent it across a broad range of national committees and policy initiatives. This includes leading work on social prescribing in Australia, contributing to the National Preventive Health Strategy, advancing antimicrobial stewardship, and shaping broader quality‑of‑care policy.
As national lead for general practice guidelines, I chair First Do No Harm: A Guide for Choosing Wisely in General Practice and chaired the COVID‑19 living guidelines for community management and long COVID. I am also a member of the leadership groups for the Red Book: Guidelines for Preventive Activities in General Practice, the Guideline for the management of knee and hip osteoarthritis, and the Australian clinical guideline for deprescribing in older people.
Recognising the central importance of patient‑centred communication and effective teamwork in delivering high‑quality general practice care, I have also supervised PhD candidates investigating these critical areas.
